SG wings for blood angels

I now know how death company feel when I open my case to find a guard with his wing missing

Try pinning

Zoanthropes, tiny waist with a giant head, way too easy to break.

Venomthropes ditto- lots of narrow metal that catches in everything and is prone to bending

I fully agree with the Zoenthropes and Venomthropes,

but I also have a problem with the Hormagaunts and Termagaunts that are only attatched by their big toe to the base.

One wrong fall and they are toast.

The shokk attack gun, It comes in about 6 different pieces. All of which have to be glued and all fit together at the same time. Thats why all 6 bits sit under the bed somewhere collecting dust, or as a chew toy for my puppy.
I really couldn't care less.

This made me laugh! And yes, I've seen these "lawnmowers" on the tabletop...but they are few and far between now.

I have a full squadron of those lawnmowers now, but I make flying bases with a 60mm base on the bottom. For my Eldar tanks I used 40mm square bases and used three clear flying base rods for a tripod

My first Killer Kan was one of the old metal ones that should not have been able to walk. the legs stayed on just fine, but the arms were forever falling out. at one point i even tried filling the hollow of its body with Greenstuff, and then pinning after it had cured. fell out 3 days later.

Then my brother decided he'd had enough of my complaining, and pinned it perpendicular to the joint. never fell out again, but only Orks can really get away with something like that.

Scraplaunchers aren't so bad if you pin them. But it still requires about 16 odd pins. Especially if you stick on the railing bits. If you have a bit of patients, then it isn't so bad. At least it's all right angles, and flat bits, nothing too hard to pin.

Pretty much any top heavy model on a flying base gives me greif, just a little bump and off goes the base.

To all those complaining about pinning... try the 70-odd pins required to build the Titan Dragon from Rackham confrontation... for those who dont know, its about the same size as the FW Chaos Dragon... but metal, not resin.

Or pinning the effing tomb-stalker ;(
